Detailed Description

Timer used to run code in fixed intervals.

Used for code that should run at the same fixed interval in various machines, based on miliseconds instead of CPU cycles.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Timer()

OpenXcom::Timer::Timer	(	Uint32	interval,
		bool	frameSkipping = false
	)

Creates a stopped timer.

Initializes a new timer with a set interval.

Parameters

interval	Time interval in milliseconds.
frameSkipping	Use frameskipping.

Member Function Documentation

getTime()

Uint32 OpenXcom::Timer::getTime

(

)

const

Gets the current time interval.

Returns the time passed since the last interval.

Returns

Time in milliseconds.

isRunning()

bool OpenXcom::Timer::isRunning

(

)

const

Gets if the timer's running.

Returns if the timer has been started.

Returns

Running state.

onTimer() [1/2]

void OpenXcom::Timer::onTimer

(

StateHandler

handler

)

Hooks a state action handler to the timer interval.

Sets a state function for the timer to call every interval.

Parameters

handler

Event handler.

onTimer() [2/2]

void OpenXcom::Timer::onTimer

(

SurfaceHandler

handler

)

Hooks a surface action handler to the timer interval.

Sets a surface function for the timer to call every interval.

Parameters

handler

Event handler.

setFrameSkipping()

void OpenXcom::Timer::setFrameSkipping

(

bool

skip

)

Turns frame skipping on or off.

Sets frame skipping on or off.

Parameters

skip	Enable frameskipping.

setInterval()

void OpenXcom::Timer::setInterval

(

Uint32

interval

)

Sets the timer's interval.

Changes the timer's interval to a new value.

Parameters

interval

Interval in milliseconds.

start()

void OpenXcom::Timer::start

(

)

Starts the timer.

Starts the timer running and counting time.

stop()

void OpenXcom::Timer::stop

(

)

Stops the timer.

Stops the timer from running.

think()

void OpenXcom::Timer::think	(	State *	state,
		Surface *	surface
	)

Advances the timer.

The timer keeps calculating the passed time while it's running, calling the respective action handler whenever the set interval passes.

Parameters

state	State that the action handler belongs to.
surface	Surface that the action handler belongs to.
